Is there a cup in here?

Never fails. Everyday. Carpool line. Cup. Hayes.

If you have put it all together, you have correctly guess that Hayes has to tinkle EVERY STINKIN' TIME we are in the carpool line to pick up Sam. I have learned to have a cup on had. Otherwise, he has to go in the school parking lot and I would prefer if noone saw him peeing on school grounds.

Lesson of the day - if you are traveling with Hayes, you need a tinkle cup.

Clean Break - check it out

Ok, I have a funny but somewhat gross story about the infamous Hayes-mister. As you may know from earlier posts, he is stealth. So, when he does his poopie business I hardly ever know except that his pants are gone. He also sometimes says "mom, I go poop but I clean, look". Can you even imagine what he does next?

Lers see, like a normal boy it might be:
1. Goes back to the toilet and lets me help him?
2. Tries to clean himself?

If that is what you thought, you were wrong. He proceeds to stick his finger in his crack and pulls it out showing me that no poopie is on it. "See mommy? It's clean". Sometimes he just tries to pull open a cheek to show us he is good.

And....other times, my eyes are burned with the image of poop on the finger. Maybe burned is too strong of a verb, but I never like to see it. GROSS!!!

However, even though he can be gross and has earned the name "Pigpen", he is still so darling that I can't even stand it!!!

Loving School

So my beautiful red head is loving school! I could not be happier. I literally see him blossoming before my eyes. He is becoming so mature.

I have to say that as I am not a morning person, this setting the alarm, getting up, making breakfast and actually looking presentable for drop-off, is not too much fun. But, Sam gets out of the car every morning happy and meets me after school every afternoon happy. What more can I ask for?

The twins are loving their new pre-school. They love their teachers. Sam had the same teachers and I did warn them that the twins are kind of a different beast. But, I love their teachers and they love the boys. We started Museum School at the Fort Worth Museum this week and they love it more than anything they have done. They were shining from excitement when I picked them up.

I am so happy that my kids are so happy with their activities and school. What a blessing it is to have three beautiful, wonderful boys who are so happy.

I could not ask for anything more.
